Beaten Heart
I’m like a fearful boxer in the ring
Pumped up, excited, on an upswing
Taking punches from the world
Falling to the ground all curled
Forgetting to step back and go around
Laying all too soon, my guard down
Stand up again, do I all the time
Hoping to win the next round of mine
I'm getting old and tired now
Endured all the pain and bleeding somehow
My tears and suffering I cannot evict
They bring smile to ones that inflict
How many more punches can this heart take
Before into pieces it does really break
For now it keeps beating and getting beaten
It’s letting itself get played again and weaken
The everlasting bond, that is in my fate,
Is your death punch, that I now await
About this poem
For those that keep falling in love knowingly or unknowingly with the wrong person!!
